Lemon Law Blog

Bob Silverman, Founding Partner of Kimmel and Silverman, has been selected as one of the top lawyers practicing in Bergen County, NJ by fellow attorneys and members of the judiciary. The list of Top Lawyers appears in the recent edition of 201 Magazine.

Named “a pioneer in New Jersey Lemon Law litigation” by the Newark Star Ledger, Bob founded Kimmel and Silverman 20 years ago, and the firm has grown to become the largest lemon law and automotive consumer advocacy firm in the Northeast.  Since its inception, the firm has provided cost-free help to more than 65,000 drivers.  As a result of Bob’s success and experience, he was asked by the State to teach NJ arbitrators and mediators about the fundamentals of the New Jersey Lemon Law, and he recently wrote an article on the State Lemon Law for NJ Lawyer Magazine’s Consumer Protection Edition.  Bob was also instrumental in ensuring that Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep consumers still maintained rights under State and Federal laws following Chrysler’s restructuring by co-authoring an amendment in the Chrysler/Fiat sales agreement with Kimmel and Silverman associate Amy Bennecoff.  He has appeared in countless consumer news stories on lemon law rights, including a recent appearance on ABC’s Nightline where he discussed the BMW high pressure fuel pump issue.  Together with his partner,  Craig Thor Kimmel, Bob was  honored by the American Bar Association during their 2002 conference in Philadelphia for providing quality legal access to consumers.  Bob works tirelessly for his clients every day, successfully resolving hundreds of cases per month on his own.

Congratulations Bob!

It is extremely rewarding when our lemon law attorneys are recognized by their peers, and for the seventh year in a row, Kimmel and Silverman founding attorneys Craig Thor Kimmel and Bob Silverman have been featured as Pennsylvania Super Lawyers in the Consumer Law division.

In addition, Managing Attorney Jacqueline Herritt has been named to the list for the fourth year in a row, and two of our associates, Amy Bennecoff and Richard Scholer, have been named Rising Stars in the Pennsylvania Legal Community. Kimmel and Silverman is proud to have more more consumer attorneys honored than any other firm in the State.

The findings are published in the June 2010 edition of Philadelphia Magazine. More than 34,000 attorneys were asked to vote for the most effective counsel they have personally observed in action. Kimmel and Silverman were recognized among the top 5% of all attorneys statewide for building Pennsylvania’s oldest and largest full-service lemon law firm, and assisting more than 55,000 distressed drivers across the Northeast with cost-free legal representation.

Kimmel & Silverman has an extensive history helping consumers and distressed drivers throughout the Keystone State, most notably as  the only lemon law firm in the state to work with the House of Representatives in expanding the Pennsylvania Lemon Law to include leased cars and tighter title provisions for used cars. The firm has also testified on bills to include additional protection for Pennsylvania consumers with motorcycles and recreational vehicles. In addition, when Chrysler was restructured and purchased by Fiat, attorneys Bob Silverman and Amy  Bennecoff worked with Chrysler counsel Jones Day and Fiat counsel Sullivan Cromwell to revise the Master Sales Agreement between the two companies to include specific language which protects past, present and future Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep drivers who suffer repetitive defects with their vehicles.
